My Last GI Clan Game?

GI had another loss in the IQ2CL last night (30/05/99) against one of the premier UK clans, EED, on q2dm6. Bad connections meant that Euclid and Lemon Head couldn’t play, so we could only field a team of two (Pooh and myself) against EED’s four man squad.

EED wins, 109 to 1.

What possessed us to enter our “inexperienced” GI team in the IQ2CL?! After the collapse of the IQCL, I thought it would be a good idea to support the only remaining Irish Quake league (even if it was the heathen Quake 2!) and we put down GI for the IQ2CL. Overall, the league has been very well organised, and our main problem has been a lack of players and good connections to the server

Unfortunately, this could well be my last clan game for GI as I’ll be away for our final IQ2CL match against LSD on q2dm7 next weekend (06/06/99). As well as that, things are in a state of disarray at the moment with some GIs moving over to Quake 3 Test, and other Q1 diehards like myself sticking with the fast pace of QuakeWorld.

The future looks uncertain, I won’t be discarding my GI initials, but I can’t see myself playing in (m)any more clan games for the time being…

IQ2CL Losses for GI

It’s been a tough few weeks for GI in the IQ2CL. We’ve lost all three of our games so far, which I guess could be put down to a lack of practice for (and knowledge of, in my case!) the Quake 2 levels involved.

First loss was to DzR on q2dm1 (25/04/99), losing 132 to 50, the second was to HIV on q2dm2 (02/05/99), losing 119 to 22, and last week’s (16/05/99) scores are shown below.

DF wins, 60 to 7.

We’ve also had poor numbers for the games so far, with terrible connections to the UK causing the majority of our problems. New member Lemon Head has been playing a stormer though, and he’s also written us a handy set of drop weapon / ammo binds.

Quake 3 Test vs. IHV

I’ve been running two Q3Test servers at quake.ign.ie on ports 27960 and 27961. These should be moving to 159.134.244.152 in the next week or so as they fill up very quickly. Here’s a shot of a Q3Test scores listing.

It’s certainly a big improvement over the Q3IHV which was leaked earlier on in the year (check out this shot of Ireland/Cloud’s first Quake 3 frag). I like the way it shows your placing along the way (DeVore gets his revenge with the rail gun and takes second place), and also the way it tells you what player you’re looking at (a rarely used but very handy option which originally appeared in Q2). Here are some shots of an early attempt by someone to convert Q1’s dm6 to the Q3 map format (1, 2, 3, 4).
